This Mandala represents my first venture into "BIG" Mandalas.  :)  I've broken out of my 8" x 8" comfortable page size
to my new 18' x 18'...there's no going back.  Bigger IS better! Enjoy!

It's all about the big open white circle in the middle. I've been designing mandalas for almost four years now, just had to shake it up and leave all that detail out of the middle. I purposely left a quiet resting place for the soul, especially after such a tough election. I'm calming myself, centering myself and all is well. Namaste!

So, the green star is so prominent in this mandala, I was inspired to look up quotes about stars.  This one seemed appropriate...
"Good friends are like stars....you don't always see them, but you know they are there."   Missing New Jersey today...and my good friends.

​“The compass rose is nothing but a star with an infinite number of rays pointing in all directions. It is the one true and perfect symbol of the universe. And it is the one most accurate symbol of you. Spread your arms in an embrace, throw your head back, and prepare to receive and send coordinates of being. For, at last you know—you are the navigator, the captain, and the ship.” 
​

I actually think I am going to frame this one and put it in my kitchen.  It's not as bright as it appears on the monitor, so I'll be able to live with it.  I've decided not to show my originals in art galleries any more, so I have a collection building in my file cabinet.  Some day I will make a book of my originals and then give it to my daughter.  :)   But this strawberry patch is going in the kitchen!

    Hello, and welcome to my website. My name is Jody Cooke and I am a designer living in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  I have been an artist in some form or another for over thirty years. My new passion is mandalas! Since I learned about them in January 2013, I have created over 1,500 (black and white) of these circular patterns and over 160 full color.  Some are very small and sketchy, most are 8 inches in diameter, currently I am creating on 24" x 18" paper (transitioning into a Lotus Mandala series as of summer 2017) and one is a 24 inch square acrylic mandala painting on canvas. Definitely not my preferred medium..but I gave it a try!
    Making mandalas is the most rewarding creative endeavor of my career.  Each time I sit down to draw I am so excited to see what comes out on the paper.  I feel so fortunate to have found this expressive and spiritual porthole to reveal my true self.  Thank you for visiting my site.
